Ardvarney Country Lodge - home away from home

Seven years ago, Wilfred and I moved from the Netherlands to Ireland, starting a new phase in life, envisioning a small farm and a Bed & Breakfast in rural Leitrim.

In 2015, we started the renovation and rebuild of a run down 200-year-old farmhouse, side buildings and surrounding lands into a luxurious Bed and Breakfast. Situated in beautiful Leitrim near Dromahair, you can find Ardvarney Country Lodge, a three-bedroom beautifully restored B&B.

Home-grown produce

Our little farm is part of the experience. Guests can help out on the farm, cuddle the sheep, or collect eggs for breakfast. We have a vegetable garden with poly-tunnel and breakfast fruit is also grown on the farm. Our beehive provides fresh honey. The environment plays a big role in the way the land was set-up. You will find a wild meadow growing as part of the land; the grass is cut with paths to let the wild flowers grow.

Traditional Irish farmhouse

The house remains true its roots as a traditional Irish farmhouse, while the inside is modern and comfortable, heated ecologically by geothermal heating. Sheep graze the land outside along with Joey the Shetland pony. During the day, hens and ducks forage companionably in the fields. At night the hens sleep in the restored farm buildings.

Comfort and relaxation

When you stay at Ardvarney Country Lodge, you’ll get a big Dutch welcome with a drink and some homemade treats, or “stroopwafels” (Dutch syrup waffles). The philosophy for our guests' stay is comfort and relaxation, mixed with activities that can be booked during your stay. We want you to feel at home and enjoy a truly relaxing holiday.

Explore lovely Leitrim

We have great knowledge of the surroundings and can advise of local places of interest. Leitrim is a beautiful county with a lot of things to do, experience, explore and engage with wild, open and natural places at a slower immersive pace.

To add to that peaceful holiday feeling, you can experience a hot stone massage, shiatsu massage, foot-reflexology, Reiki or meditation from me, Carin at Holistic Caring, to end the day relaxed and revitalised.
